Two weeks in…

This is only my third post in two weeks and obviously this is not going smoothly.You can just thank me now for all the pompous crap I’ve deleted.In no particular order, this is what I’ve learned so far.

Blogging is hard.I feel like I now have a perpetual yet undefined homework assignment hanging over my head.

Twitter is really, really fun and useful.For now I am using it to keep track of random thoughts and observations in much the same way I might use a sketch pad or notebook. Please feel free to follow me @ChristineAtWFOH

A good way to get people to your Facebook fan page is to feature something of theirs and tell them.Sometimes they bring friends and those friends bring a new dynamic.SockMonkeysAndBacon on Facebook

FAQs are your best friend, and full of good tips.Unfortunately I still don’t use them enough.

It is trickier to get people to find you and follow you than it might seem.Even if something works, you can’t stop trying to find other strategies and communities.

I still haven’t gotten the energy to fully tackle LinkedIn.My resume is in better shape and I’ve looked up a few folks, but I need to make some time for that.Don’t even ask about the web page.It seemed like a good idea, and I have some stuff filed on it, but that may stay more of a collaborative space for the three of us.

I am still waiting for more comments on this blog, so if you have anything to say – even just hello – please do so. Thanks to those who have bothered to join and/or comment. It is way more fun with you on board.

PS The last post about graphics could have used an introduction.It was a reference to some of the frustrations common to my last job in a graphics office.I guess good structure will help in the future.Thanks for your patience.
